"Someone who browses named Tosha goes through those stolen pages, had seen my car and recognized the car with a dent,” Davis-Loosli said. “So he immediately messaged me. So all of this was through Facebook which is crazy and he was like, 'I think I found your car.'”

"We appreciate all of the assistance we get from the public on stolen vehicles," said Deputy Chief Ken McCoy. "When the public uses social media sites to inform one another, those extra eyes and ears on the street are a benefit to us."

According to Davis-Loosli, police got a report that her Honda was seen parked off Dimond Boulevard. Four officers quickly responded to secure it, and Davis-Loosli said she's grateful that APD and good Samaritans worked together to reunite her with her car.

"Just seeing like how many people showed up, it was so cool with APD being there and all of the Samaritans being there, just for my '99 CRV,” Davis-Loosli said. “It’s not like I'm driving a Ferrari; it is a beat up old car. It’s my everything though -- that car is how I get to work and school. Without it I would have to drop out. I wouldn't have a way to get there."

APD wants to remind everyone to not put yourself in harm's way to recover a stolen vehicle. If you see one, just call 911.
